Ok, so it seems to me as though there really isn't much of a plot other than gathering people.
It's not really a very complex game like most HM game, and almost immediately after I got married, I stopped playing.
I mean, it's a good game and I'll pick it up every now and then, but is there anyone else who feels the same way I do?

I know, right? I wish there was a little more story is this one, like in the other games....
I want a goal!

Yeah, i also wish for something harder.
Maybe something "extra" when u're married.

yeah like, instead of just collecting so many of something like in Harvest Moon DS /Cute or Magical Melodies.
I like how Animal Parade has the two game-long tasks of ringing all the bells to save the island AND helping get the circus animals back.

It would'we been cool if u can do that in IoH....

Well, the only things I'm staying for after marriage are children and getting every townsperson up to ten hearts. By then I might get bored with it... xD

Hm, by every townsperson, you mean EVERYONE?
As in, all the people without faces and are at various places around the island?

Lol, no, I mean just the main characters. You know, the ones with SOULS. xD

Oh...
Haha, I'm sort of out of it, seeing as I'm really tired and just went to a party, and now I'm tired from drinking half of a two-liter bottle of Sprite.

Oh boy, that would make me be sick! Yeah, I've had the most exhausting time too. Every day this week has been some huuuuge event that lasts ages and leaves you exhausted, so I'm totally not functioning at full mental capacity now myself! xD

I tr working everyone up to ten hearts, too. I also play until the other couples have married/had children and returned. But after that....what else should I do...?
I just kind of stop playing or start a new file, maybe playing as the boy instead.
